MacBook Pro Batteries Swelling and Failing
JohnnyCakes writes "MacBook Pro batteries are apparently swelling, then failing. MacFixIt has some grotesque pictures of their own swollen MBP battery, which looks like it has suffered an internal explosion. Apple is replacing batteries on a case-by-case basis, but hasn't yet admitted any wide-scale issues."

Thats not grotesque you want to see grotesque, let me find that tub girl link...
Irrational fear can be potent, and impotency is a great irrational fear of some men. It is little comfort to most that it is said the effect is temporary, since even if the chance is very slight that that assessment is wrong, who really wants to take that chance with their gonads? It's a bug, not a feature, if it truns out there are unintended long term effects!
But of course, if everyone in the world were sensible and logical about all things (including their gonads) then the decision to supress the data and hide the contraceptive effect is a bit silly. It is a minor market anti-hypertensive, but hot damn if it were marketed as a male contraceptive, cha-ching! I imagine that market is significantly larger (and the field is pretty much wide open).
All the techniques ever used to make men moral have been themselves thoroughly immoral... (Nietzsche)
It would be a feature if you're married. Singles, without proper protection, would run into a lot of "bugs" (not the BSOD type either).
